Title: Is-sittax ta'Jannar 1941 : qabel u wara Abstract: L-artiklu jiddeskrivi l-impatt kbir li t-Tieni Gwerra Dinjija kellha fuq l-Isla, b’enfasi partikolari fuq l-attakk qerriedi tas-16 ta’ Jannar 1941. Filwaqt li l-gwerra bdiet fl-1939, l-Isla bdiet tħoss l-effetti serji tagħha f'Ġunju tal-1940 meta l-Italja ssieħbet fil-kunflitt u bdiet tattakka l-inħawi tal-Port. L-attakk tas-16 ta’ Jannar mil-Luftwaffe Ġermaniża fuq l-Aircraft Carrier HMS Illustrious, li kienet sorġuta qrib l-Isla, kien punt ta’ bidla li kkawża mewt u qerda kbira. Dan l-avveniment wassal biex ħafna residenti jevakuaw il-belt u biex l-awtoritajiet ekkleżjastiċi, taħt l-Arċipriet Brincat, jieħdu deċiżjoni mmedjata li jittrasferixxu t-teżori tal-Bażilika, fosthom l-istatwi tal-Bambina u tar-Redentur, lejn postijiet aktar sikuri bħal Birkirkara u n-Naxxar. Il-Bażilika nnifisha sofriet ħsarat kbar, inkluż il-waqgħa tal-koppla fl-1942. Minkejja t-telf ta’ ħajjiet u l-qerda ta’ bini storiku, l-artiklu jikkonkludi b’nota ta’ tama billi jfakkar l-aħbar tal-waqfien mill-ġlied fl-Italja fit-8 ta’ Settembru 1943, li waslet waqt il-purċissjoni tal-Bambina, u l-proċess twil ta’ bini mill-ġdid li segwa.

Title: Il-Birgu jinbidel mil-lejl għan-nhar Abstract: Dan l-artiklu jservi bħala kronaka dettaljata tal-perjodu mudlam li għaddiet minnu l-Belt Vittoriosa matul it-Tieni Gwerra Dinjija, fejn il-ħajja kwieta tal-parroċċa nbidlet f’waħda ta’ biża’ u qerda. George Agius jispjega b’mod grafiku kif l-attakki mill-ajru tal-1941 wasslu għall-mewt ta’ bosta nies taħt it-tiġrif tas-sagristija tal-Knisja ta’ San Lawrenz u kkawżaw ħsarat kbar fl-istruttura tal-knisja.
